General Product Description
Our PlaneArts Fairchild C-82A Flight of the Phoenix Arabco model exhibits unique, unrivaled quality and detailed design to come as close as possible to the accuracy of the actual plane. It comes as standard with a robust, durable base or stand which is available in a variety of different finishes designed to match your own personal requirements including solid wood, wood with polished metal supports or adjustable wood wall mount and will be ready within about 8-10 weeks from placement of order.
The Fairchild C-82A Flight of the Phoenix Arabco model is made of the finest kiln dried renewable mahogany wood (commonly known as Lauan or Meranti) which has undergone many stages of carving and meticulous and careful sanding giving the beautiful finished museum quality masterpiece. Many collectors and model connoisseurs demonstrate their preference for genuine handmade and hand painted mahogany wood models rather than plastic or die cast (diecast) alternatives due to the overall look and totally different feel of the item - we trust you will find the same. We can, however, if required produce the same model in Solid Cast Resin so just click and contact us us for further information. Our craftsmen and gifted artisans ensure that our finely handcrafted model airplanes match the precise blueprint details of the original aircraft. The paint scheme, markings and parts are closely matched, reflecting the original aircraft. This stylish top-quality desktop replica model will surely enthrall anyone who receives this as a gift and for sure one of the most appropriate and desirably collectable gifts for any aviation enthusiast and avid aircraft collector whilst also displaying a perfect resemblance to the actual aircraft.

Erold,
This is very impressive. Your model makers have created a faithful model of the C-82 from The Flight of the Phoenix. I do not see a need for further changes. Remember to make the overcoat a flat, matte clear coat. Use steel wool if you need to take the shine off. In the movie, this is a 20 year old plane that has been a desert workhorse for an oil company and has been through many sandstorms.
I am persuaded that shipping the model in pieces will work out acceptably. The part lines are not very prominent. I think I’ve already paid for shipping in the disassembled configuration. Please confirm.
Please take good measurements of the plane and record the colors and patterns used. I will be placing an order for The Phoenix soon. The Phoenix fuselage is constructed from the left engine boom using wing and tail sections from the wreckage. I will want my Phoenix to be to scale with this C-82 model.
Again, congratulations on recreating a movie prop. This will look great on display.
Best regards,
Tim
